Tbh I think since the Nou Camp and CC Final, the team's mental strength has just gone down the drain. Have we even won a match since? Wenger is a great manager but he seems to have no clue as to how to instil belief into the team. Added to the fact that Cesc is not a motivational leader, when things stop going our way, the team collapses. The same thing happened last season - a couple of bad results at Barcelona and Birmingham totally ****ed the team over. Almunia in goal hasn't helped, he needs to be gotten rid of asap.
There is still a slight chance of winning the league, we just have to win all our games. If Man U lose to us and Chelsea and draw one other. Not impossible. But I think the team is too ****ed over mentally now to pull off any decent performances. We're just too fragile atm to win anything.
I do think that tactically, our system doesn't work when Cesc isn't there, and Cesc isn't there quite a lot at the moment. I think it'd be worth trying a 4-4-2 when Cesc is injured, but perhaps not against the bigger teams, but against Blackburn for example.
